Guardians of the
Galaxy had a boring intro that you’ll soon forget the moment the movie
kicks off. I was looking forward to meeting Rocket (a genetically modified
raccoon who’s a bounty hunter and mercenary, a weapon expert able to make
weapons out of anything around him, and a masterful battle tactician). The
moment Rocket was introduced, I couldn’t help but wish he stayed on screen for
the entire movie.
I loved how
Rocket never missed a chance to make an inappropriate joke. Then there were the
other characters, all memorable in their own way, making it a sure thing that
I’ll definitely be looking forward to a part two of this film—and I’ll
definitely be rewatching this one.
For someone like
me, who’s being introduced to The Guardians of the Galaxy for the
first time, I have to say the director and screenwriters (James Gunn directed
and wrote the screenplay with Nicole Perlman) absolutely delivered.
The Guardians of
the Galaxy are a fictional space superhero team that first appeared in the
Marvel universe in 2008. They’re a bunch of misfits brought together by
different circumstances but who happened to end up in the same place (based on
this movie).
Star-Lord/Peter
Quill (Chris Pratt) steals a mystical orb that the villain Ronan the Accuser
wants. The orb has infinite energy, which Ronan plans to use to destroy a
planet named Xandar. Ronan sends Gamora (Zoe Saldana) after Quill to retrieve
the orb, but Gamora has her own motives for wanting it. After Quill steals the
orb, a bounty is placed on his head—a bounty that bounty hunters Rocket
(Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) are after, so they go after Quill too.
All four of them
end up arrested and thrown in jail, where they meet Drax the Destroyer (Dave
Bautista), who’s ready to do whatever it takes to get revenge on Ronan for
killing his family.
With all this
coming together, the movie delivers humor, action, and memorable lines all the
way through. One of those memorable lines is, “I am Groot.”
The movie’s
lineup differs from the original comic book version, with the exclusion of
Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock.
The movie was a
huge commercial success, making more than four times its $170 million budget,
which pretty much guarantees that Disney will push for a sequel.
Have you seen this wonderful movie called Guardians of the Galaxy?
